Model number ……………………………………………… Serial number ……………………………………………… Date of purchase …………………………………………….. Description of the appliance Control panel The control panel is located at the top of the appliance, above the glass door.
Description of the product features 1) Control panel o The control panel is located at the top of the appliance, behind the glass door. This means it is easy to set the temperature of the appliance and see what temperature the appliance is set to. 2) Two cooling zones o There are two cooling zones inside of your wine cooler; they are separated by a partition. o Each cooling zone has an independent temperature control and temperature display. 3) Interior light o Each cooling zone has an interior light.
o There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It will lessen as the appliance starts to cool. During first use o When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run continuously until the wine cooler reaches a cool enough temperature. o During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place bottles inside of the appliance.
Interior light o To operate the interior light, you should press the light ON/OFF button (K) for the lower zone or the light ON/OFF button (F) for the upper zone. Storage temperature neons o The control panel has four storage temperature neons; these indicate which type of wine is most suited to being stored in the temperature zone at the current temperature setting. o If the neon (G) is lit, this means that the lower compartment is achieving a temperature of between 10 – 13°C.
Storing your wines The chart below indicates the ideal storage temperatures for different types of wine:Type of wine Red wine (*) White wine (**) Sparkling wines/champagne Rose wine Vintage wine Temperature (Celsius) 15.5 – 18.5°C 10 - 15°C 7.2 – 9.5°C Temperature (Fahrenheit) 59.9 – 65.3°F 50 – 59°F 45 – 49.1°F 9.5 – 10.5°C 13°C 49.1 – 50.9°F 55°F * Light red wines, such as Beaujolais, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc benefit from being served slightly cooler than full-bodied reds.
o Special stoppers that keep wine sparking and Champagne bubbling for one or two days after opening, can be bought at most good wine shops. o When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full bodied reds will age well for ten years and dessert wines will age well for up to twenty years. o When you buy a bottle of wine, you should transfer it to a suitable storage location immediately (if you are not going to store it in your wine cooler).
Slight effervescence in still wine- this isn’t really a problem with the way the wine has been stored, but as a result of incomplete malolactic fermentation before the wine was bottled. A good way to get rid of the effervescence is to let the wine breathe. Alternatively you can use a bottle vacuum device, after about five minutes the effervescence will vanish. Sediment- this is not normally a problem, however both red and white wines can produce sediment after a number of months in a bottle.
o After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly. o When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains supply. Defrosting o Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the wine cooler during operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically. o The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically.
Electrical connection YOUR WINE COOLER IS INTENDED FOR FITTED AND PERMANENT INSTALLATION. We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified electrician, who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply with the I.E.E. and local regulations. o Your wine cooler comes supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. If in future you need to change the fuse in this plug, then a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.
Positioning o It is advisable that your appliance is only installed in a location where the ambient temperature of the room, corresponds with the climate classification that is stated on the rating plate of your appliance. Your appliance may not function correctly if the ambient temperature falls outside of the following ranges.
Built-in installation o Your wine cooler can be used as a freestanding or a built in unit. If you are going to use it as a built in unit, then the dimensions shown in the diagram above will need to be followed. o In particular the depth dimension must be observed. o IMPORTANT: The vent at the base of the appliance is for ventilation. Nothing should be placed in front of this vent; otherwise your wine cooler may not operate properly.
Reversing the door of your wine cooler This appliance has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right hand side. The unit is delivered to you with the door opening from the left side. If you want to reverse the opening direction of the door, please follow the instructions below: Any parts that you remove from the appliance whilst reversing the door, should be retained for later use. 1) Carefully lay the wine cellar on its back.
o The seal must adhere properly all the way around the door. o If the seal is not adhering to the cabinet properly, then you should either:a) Use a warm damp cloth and manipulate the seal until it does adhere to the cabinet properly, all the way around the door. or b) Use a hair dryer on its lowest heat setting and lightly heat the areas of the door seal that are not adhering correctly. The heat will make the seal more pliable and this will allow you to manipulate the seal into the correct position.
